Someday

Someday

A Poem by Benjamin Seymour

 

 

The last place I wanted to be

Was in yet another junkie squat

Breathing in second hand smoke

Over the counter of an old tobacconists

Some things in this life I think I might miss

But not this

 

Light filters through the folded shutters

A morning from which I tried to hide

Isolating the patches of smog

I took a peek out onto the world outside

And have a glance at what life should be like

A contrast to my life

 

Forgotten but not irrevocably

I’ll emerge from this someday

Very nearly threw this much away

Time to make something of this day
